OPINION: The Mueller Report: Blacks Better Be Careful

NNPA NEWSWIRE — “Let’s get one thing straight, Democrats don’t have the guts to actually file articles of impeachment against President Trump after Mueller has clearly stated there is not sufficient evidence for him to bring any charges.”

As I always say, “Weak people take strong positions on weak issues.”

Exhibit A for this is the recently released Mueller report.

Democrats have lost their damned minds over this report. They didn’t get the result they wanted, an indictment of President Trump, so they figured if they keep investigating, they will come up with something they can use to remove Trump from office.

Mueller’s report was very clear, on both the accusations of collusion and obstruction, there was NOT sufficient evidence to bring charges in either circumstance! Period. End of sentence.

Was there unflattering information about Trump and his aides in the report? Yes. Did Trump and some of his aides walk up to the line between legal and illegal? Yes. But, in our system of justice either you violated the law, or you didn’t, and Mueller clearly concluded that Trump and his aides did not cross the line.

So, legally Trump and his aides are in the clear. Politically is where the problem is — for Democrats — especially Black Democrats.

Let’s get one thing straight, Democrats don’t have the guts to actually file articles of impeachment against President Trump after Mueller has clearly stated there is not sufficient evidence for him to bring any charges.

Now radical liberal Democrat members of Congress like Maxine Waters and Al Green are running over each other demanding that the president be impeached.

Hmmm, do you really want to go down that road?

Let me paint a picture for you to consider.

Jussie Smollett, the actor who concocted a fake story about being assaulted in Chicago, had all charges dismissed against him. Legally, like Trump, he is in the clear.

In all probability, the U.S. Department of Justice is going to file federal charges against Smollett for mail fraud because he mailed a fake letter threatening himself but made it seem as though the letter was mailed by someone else.

I can guarantee as clear as day that Waters and Green will be the first to claim that the Justice Department is only doing it because Smollett is Black, with absolutely no evidence to support their claim.

But wait. Let me make sure I understand. Mueller found insufficient evidence to bring forward charges of collusion and obstruction against Trump, but Democrats say to hell with Mueller, we want impeachment.

But, if and when something similar happens to a Black, then it is racist? I am through. I have a headache!

The one takeaway for me in the Mueller report that no one seems to be talking about is how the report made clear that, in America, we have two systems of justice. One for the rich and well connected (Jussie Smollett and Hillary Clinton), and one for regular people like Pookie and LaQueesha.

Russian intelligence knew how corrupt and vulnerable the Clinton’s were to their intelligence operations. They knew the Clinton’s loyalty was to money, not America.

Every country — let me repeat — EVERY country, that has the means, spies and interferes in the internal affairs of other countries.

I laid this out in a column I wrote two years ago titled, “Russia is Winning the War for American Minds.”

Americans, for the first time in history, have had a front row seat to a psychological operations campaign live and in living color, in real time. This, indeed, is unprecedented.

So, to radical Black liberals, you better be careful! You didn’t like the results of the Mueller report, so you want to treat Trump as though he was indicted.

When this happens to someone Black, remember you started it!

In liberalism, intent is more important than results. As a matter of fact, that is the sole basis of liberalism not results.

So, when white folks hold you to the same standard, please spare me your cries of racism!

Democrats are in the process of ensuring the re-election of Donald Trump as president. They have provided absolutely no serious vision of where they want to take America.

They have offered nothing but grandiose platitudes to the American people, especially to Blacks: reparations, DC statehood, etc.

Have you noticed that not one Democrat candidate for president has mentioned anything about the killings going on in Chicago? Or the stagnant wages of the Black worker despite the phenomenal Trump economy for Blacks?

They have spent more time talking about amnesty for the upwards of 30 million illegals because they are too ignorant to realize that when you increase cheap labor in the marketplace wages go down!

The reason Democrats are obsessing about the Mueller report is because they have nothing of any substance by way of policy to offer the American people.

The reaction by radical Black liberals to the Mueller report should serve as a cautionary tale for the Black community.

There will be a “Black” version of Donald Trump and he will be subjected to the same treatment as our current president. When it happens just admit that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander; and it has nothing to do with race.

Youth-Led Black August Event Brings Past to Present at East Oakland Boxing Association

The East Oakland Boxing Association (EOBA) and Youth Alive! came together on Aug. 21 to share with their community all that Black August means to them.

Held on EOBA’s patio at 816 98th Ave. in Deep East Oakland, the two organizations hosted their second annual Black August Experience, featuring a food tasting, financial literacy and mindfulness workshops, and voter registration with the League of Women Voters Oakland (LWV).

Black August is known as a time to uphold the legacy of prisoners who protested their conditions by fasting, fighting, and educating themselves on the economic and political circumstances that contributed to their incarceration.

According to its website, “EOBA is a multi-service youth and community development hub that goes far beyond the ring. While rooted in the discipline of boxing, for nearly 40 years EOBA has also integrated robust programs in workforce development, food justice, afterschool enrichment, financial literacy, mentorship, and wellness.”.

The mission of Youth Alive! Is to “break the cycle of violence, heal trauma, and uplift a thriving community of leaders, to save lives in Oakland and beyond” by servingas mentors, youth leaders, counselors, case managers, intervention specialists and violence interrupters,” working “to help violently wounded people heal themselves and their community.”

Through Coro California, another leadership organization serving young people across the state for 80 years, they gained a broader understanding of Black August.

EOBA Executive Director Dawna Williams spoke about how much she learned about Black August from the youth who created it. “I let them educate me,” she said. Instead of talking about prison reform and mass incarceration, Williams and youth interns found that Black August meant so much more. “We would have done a disservice if we had just focused on who the people were and what their situation was…We tried to take their message from back in the day and make it relevant to the young people today. What do they need to know?”

Youth interns created and placed posters around the patio to help participants understand how traditional Black foodways, civic engagement, financial literacy, and the power of education are relevant to Black resistance today.

An EOBA member described Black August with Youth ALIVE! as “a whole vibe. “This year we added the Fun Zone for the kids, because you really cannot go wrong with a Fun Zone. I also loved seeing everyone chillin’ in the outdoor lounge, catching some Vitamin D and just enjoying a Friday evening together.”

The food tasting, a popular event from last year, featured traditional Black foods such as black-eyed peas, johnny cakes, and fried chicken. Led by Williams, the tasting included a talk about how these traditional foods were made and why they are forms of Black resilience.

The “‘Plate of History’ was a favorite of the online writers. “Fun, educational, and did I mention delicious? Our Taste of History cook, Angela Southall, served up some good eats while connecting food to history and culture.”

The writer also commended the “League of Women Voters Oakland for their civic leadership and for getting our young people informed, ready, and registered to vote.”

Overall, it was a “good Friday event in East Oakland,” the writer said.

Upcoming Black August events: Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS), will host “Black August: The Arc of Liberation” at Oakland City Hall on Sat. Aug. 29, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
